FOOTBALL For the first time in more than twenty years, the Amherst football team completed an undefeated season. As the highlight of the season, the Canes swept through the Intercounty League without losing a contest enroute to sole possession of the crown. This was the first Am- herst team to hold the Intercounty title undisputedly. The team started the season by whipping the only non-league opponent on the schedule, Williamstown, 18-12. This triumph was followed by victories over Frontier, Arms, and AAahar. The Canes took a giant step toward the league crown by blasting a favored South Hadley eleven, 28-0. This victory was followed by another smashing triumph, as the Cane ' s made it two in a row with a 30-0 blanking of Ware, previously undefeated. The Canes finished the season by squeezing out wins over Murdock and Ludlow. The key to the season was the combination of a stalwart defense and break-away offense. The Canes came up with their top performances of the season when they were most needed. Individual laurels went to Tom Parkinson, All-In- tercounty League fullback. He paced the Intercounty League in scoring and was close to fhe top all season in the Western Mass, scoring lists. Other ARHS All-Inter- county players were Cliff Allen, Wes Cembalisty, and Dennis Patnaude. This trio comprised the left side of the all-star team line and was responsible for the dif- ficulty the opposition faced in running against the Canes. Other seniors turning in top performances were Bill Ennis, end; Steve Smith and Jim Allen, guards; and Tom Martin, Steve Stone, Charlie Domina, and Bob Wilson, backs.
